The Phillies have joined with the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), and Celiac Groups in the Delaware Valley to raise awareness about Celiac Disease and raise money for research. Gluten-free food and beverages will be available. Plus, the NFCA will be at the game with information about Celiac Disease and how to get tested. FYI: If you mention the code “celiac” when purchasing tickets, then proceeds for these specially purchased tickets will go to raising awareness of Celiac and funds for research.
